* When Indy has to step on a series of tiles to spell "Iehova" out, he forgets that in Latin, Jehova begins with an I.

'''Indy:''' The hell you will. (everyone looks at him with surprise) He's got a two-day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.\\
